(attach location photos)

Project Name: South Bend Racquet Club

Completed by: Johnathon Dolph

Scout Date & Time: 11/2/15 3:00 PM

Location address: 4122 N Hickory Rd, Mishawaka, IN 46545

Day and time of shoot: Monday 3pm

Location description (interior/ exterior): Outside of building is sheet metal and brick. Looks a bit industrial.

Describe the scene and action. How many people are on camera? There were two people working the pro shop and a total of 6 people using the courts while I was there.

How much space is needed? Minimal amount of space. There is a lot of court space and most of the facility was empty when I scouted.

Will the action be shot from one or multiple locations? All shots will take place at the South Bend Racquet Club. We will shoot the interview in the meeting space overlooking the courts. We will get some shots of the tennis/racquet courts themselves. Some of the shots will cover the pro shop as well.

Is there off-screen space available? There is plenty of off screen space in the lounges.

What are the light levels and sources of light? How does this impact your scene? All the spaces in the building are very well lit except for the lounge where we will be conducting some of the interviews. For that part we will need external lighting because the shots will be too dark without. All other spaces are well lit with neutral light so it will give a very professional look to the shots without the need for extra lighting.

Are you recording sound? Are there any issues to be aware of? We will be recording sound with external mics. The courts are very open and there is a lot of reverb/echo coming off the spaces. I will probably use dynamic mics when boom micing to cut down on picking up that echo. For interviews we will use livelier mics that should keep excessive noise out.

Is there any special equipment needed? Boom mic arms. Light boxes and shields. Tripod.

Are there any concerns that need to be addressed about shooting at this location? We will need to make sure that we are not inturupting any lessons or getting in the way of the sales staff.
